THE FIRST PRODUCTION WHIPPLE INSTALL STARTED

Not to worry about the pulley. You can always call Whipple and ask for Mike, he is one of the senior folks involved in the project. I believe Steve is one of the techs who did most of the technical testing. He gave us the recommedation on the cam.

Trust me, I am new to this. but when we started the initial dyno runs with no timing changes this thing was making in excess of 11 psi with a 4 inch pulley. I am sure whipple will have whatever you need.

Please keep posting details you would like to know so we don't forget. I was in the same boat. I bugged the heck out of a lot of the LPE brotherhood and the HP freaks on this website before buying anything. Shoot I still ask Tim a hundred questions a day and to his credit he always tries to get me an answer. Great guy to work with. For those of you in the MidAtlantic you can't go wrong.

Just looking at the pics I am 99% sure ADM Perf intake will fit and another one to consider when some of the dust settles. Thanks to you and T & T for doing another dyno pull tomorrow to evaluate header install before cam. Don't forget to post the boost as well. Great fun watching your build.

Glad to be of help. You guys should thank Tim though. He tracks the threads and bends over backwards to keep us happy.

I have had a lot of fun here on Camaro5. I bought my car from Becky at Rodgers Chevrolet. Best salesperson I have ever dealt with by far. To this day we shoot the breeze about modding camaros. She had to hound me about about getting a check to me because I overpaid for my taxes.

I had my supension build done by Justice Pete, awesome guy. The best part of the experience was hanging out afterward. As someone on active duty, I can't say enough about how well I was treated.

We will know for sure when i get my whipple as i have the ADM race, it looks like it will fit though from the pics and knowing how my intake is made. Primary reason i went whipple instead of KB as i should be able to use my custom painted adm race, KB not so much..

Any of you guys that have contact with Whipples finest, do you know if there are any plans for an "offroad" unit for a LS7 headed engine?

As far as I know, the current LS series motors all share the same external dimensions, so headers and superchargers should bolt on.

I do know that if you search Whipple's site you will find reference to a High Output version in the 4 liter plus size supercharger. Maybe something to compete with KB's 3.6 and 4.2? Who knows?

John,

I haven't forgotten you.

Funny you say that, I'm thinking the same thing. Maybe reinforcing the rear end first?

I meant for LS7 head style intake ports

Hey John

Just read all 8 pages of your build thread, congrats on a great build, great numbers.
I see you decided to go with the meth kit, you won't regret it.

[69 Rebel]

Ohh btw, i remeber you telling me that you won't drag race the car, and i told you that with 600rwhp you will want to. Are you feeling it yet

I know there are many guys that are actually following this build and are considering the whipple

If you guys have questions, keep posting. I'm on vacation and will answer when possible.

Awesome numbers... I can't wait to see how it runs with the headers, CAI, and tune to those mods! I have the rotofab and headers...now...for a SC...

THIS is what I'm really interested in!

Any idea when the production whipples will be hitting the street? A shot in the dark educated guess perhaps? Rumor even, ie..Justin Whipple`s cousins daughter`s maid from el salvador overhead while vacuuming something but she doesn`t speak good english..but might have been...Lol..
